EMPTY FORM

"architecture is fixed but housing inside could be anything"

Deep in the heart of the Dominican Republic lies an unusual bookstore, aptly named Selexyz Dominicanen. It is housed in Maastricht, in the bowels of an ancient church which was constructed in 1294. Since it’s interruption as a church (Napoleon invaded Maastricht in 1794 and forced the loyal parishioners out of the country), this beautiful church has seen use as a parish, warehouse, and most notably (and creatively), a large parking lot for bicycles. The renovations, which took months to complete, were led by architecture firm Merkx + Girod, and include massive black steel bookshelves that are so high, to reach the top books, one must use a lift or the cleverly manufactured staircase that was built right in. And this church boasts the same comforts as any bookstore — a small cafe (now nestled in the church choir) and tables so one could pursue books — so it’s a wonder why if one lives in Maastricht, you’d shop anywhere else. from above image there's an ancient church which was constructed in 1294. but for now there's changing to be a bookstore and a small cafe inside by still conserve existing architecture but the space inside , the housing one could bu change to anything depent on time because we all do not know what's the architecture could be in 10 - 20 years later , today there's a bookstore and a cafe in place of space of church , there might be a casino or a large swimming pool in the future . for my idea , an empty form is a functional space , which can do anything ,anytime for anyone . there's no matter for the existing one, an architecture even if the inside was changed ,changing and going to change as well . As I alreadt said that no one know what's going to be in the future like 20 - 40 years later but if we design a pure form one for support any activities that wil be happen there that means we will success in an empty form , in my opinion there might called "fullness form" instead of empty form because there's functional space to support even if the architecture still fixed as well .

another function that could be is let's it be whatever will be ..will be..
